Outside Yan Jing City, an old man in a black robe with a gloomy face looked at the city wall in front of him and said in a low voice, "Is this Yan Jing City? The northern barbarian land is not as prosperous as the Central Plains. It's about the same as West Chu. "
There were a few warriors beside him. One of them, who looked like a rat, immediately smiled apologetically. "Master is right. Northern Yan was suppressed by Eastern Qi a few decades ago. It's only now that they've made a comeback. It's good enough that they're at this scale."
The old man sneered and said, "Chu Xiu doesn't stay in the Central Plains. He hides in this northern barbarian land. It's not good!"
Several warriors around him said, "Yes, this time Master is here to teach Chu Xiu a lesson. We can't let go of Senior Brother's revenge!"
This old man was the "Ten Directions Old Devil" Yuan Tianfang and some of his disciples.
In the past, during the war between the righteous and the demonic, Chu Xiu killed Yuan Tianfang's favorite disciple, Xing Situ. The two sides had become sworn enemies.
However, at that time, Wei Shuya stopped him and Donghuang Taiyi spoke for him. Yuan Tianfang couldn't touch Chu Xiu even if he wanted to.
Moreover, after returning, there were also many big shots of the Hidden Devil Lineage who passed on the message for Yuan Tianfang to calm down. Chu Xiu could not be killed, at least not now.
Now, Chu Xiu was the face of the Yinmo Clan. It was not an exaggeration to say that Chu Xiu was the number one person in the younger generation of the Diabolism, let alone the Yinmo Clan.
Such a person could be killed by the people of the righteous martial arts world, but he couldn't die in the hands of his own people.
The entire Devil Dao was originally divided into the Bright Devil and the Hidden Devil lineage. Moreover, the Hidden Devil lineage was not united. If there was a matter of people killing each other, then they would lose all their face.
Therefore, it was fine for Yuan Tianfang to kill Chu Xiu, but he had to wait until Chu Xiu was no longer so eye-catching. Even Wei Shuya and the others were disappointed in him. Then, he could kill Chu Xiu without any worries.
However, Yuan Tianfang thought about it carefully. With Chu Xiu's strength and the potential he had displayed, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wait for that day. After all, he wasn't young anymore.
The more Yuan Tianfang thought about it, the more he couldn't take it lying down. So, he personally brought a few of his disciples from the Northern Yan Land to cause trouble for Chu Xiu.
Of course, Yuan Tianfang was not going to kill Chu Xiu directly. If he could, he would have done it long ago.
Yuan Tianfang was planning to push Chu Xiu out of the way, so much so that he had no place to stand in the Northern Yan!
At this moment, a dissatisfied rebuke was suddenly heard, "I say, what are you guys doing? If you don't want to go, then get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the way, understand? "
Yuan Tianfang and the others were standing at the city gate, seemingly blocking the way of a small family's caravan into the city.
Others could take a detour, but the small family's caravan had a lot of vehicles, so they couldn't go around it.
At this time, in front of the caravan, a young man was pointing at Yuan Tianfang and scolding him, looking extremely impatient.
A steward beside him wanted to stop him. After all, it was better to avoid trouble when they were outside. It was not good to cause trouble, but his hands were not as fast as the young man's mouth.
Yuan Tianfang turned around and glanced at the young man expressionlessly. It was this glance that caused the young man's face to immediately reveal an expression of endless fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
The other people in the caravan didn't feel anything, but they didn't dare to move a step.
Yuan Tianfang turned back and walked into Yan Jing City with his disciples. At this time, the caravan finally dared to move, as if the paralysis spell had been lifted.
"Young Master, Young Master."
The manager of the merchant group pulled on the young man who was still in a daze. However, in the next moment, the young man's entire body seemed to have melted. His bones, flesh, and blood all turned into a pile of mud. Only a piece of human skin with a terrified expression was left behind. This immediately caused a wave of terrified screams.
Yuan Tianfang walked on the street and snorted, "Barbarians have no manners at all. Can't you even say please? Where is the palace? Take me to see Xiang Long. "
It was difficult for others to see the Northern Yan emperor, but it was very easy for an expert of Yuan Tianfang's level.
He directly stood at the gate of the palace and released a bit of his True Fire Spirit Refinement realm aura. Immediately, experts from the palace came out to ask about it, and then respectfully welcomed him into the palace.
In a hall in the palace, Xiang Long looked down at Yuan Tianfang and said in a deep voice, "May I know why Mister Yuan has come to the Northern Yan?"
The name 'Ten Directions Old Demon' Yuan Tianfang was still very famous in the martial world. The moment Yuan Tianfang appeared, someone had already handed over all his information to Xiang Long.
As for Yuan Tianfang's sudden visit, Xiang Long was also confused and didn't know why.
Yuan Tianfang was from the Central Plains. After being humiliated in Western Chu's Longhu Mountain, he spent most of his time in the East Pole Mountain near the East Bay. He wouldn't go out unless there was something important, and he rarely came to the Northern Yan.
Yuan Tianfang didn't even raise his head. He said indifferently, "I'm not used to talking to people with my head up."
For an expert like Yuan Tianfang who had reached the True Fire Spirit Refinement realm, the world's imperial power was bullshit.
Even the current Northern Yan and Eastern Qi were great countries in the world. For a small country like the Wei Kingdom, the predecessor of Wei County, Yuan Tianfang, as an expert of the True Fire Spirit Refinement realm, could easily destroy a country.
Therefore, he treated Xiang Long the same way he treated the leaders of some great forces, or even worse.
Because those leaders at least had some strength, but Xiang Long didn't even have the strength. Yuan Tianfang could crush him with one finger.
Of course, the reason he didn't crush him was that in the Northern Yan court, there were also experts who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
For example, as soon as he said that, he felt several auras shrouding him.
Xiang Long waved his hand and said indifferently, "Mister Yuan is right. It'll be easier to talk if we're closer."
With that, Xiang Long walked down the high platform and sat opposite Yuan Tianfang. He said in a deep voice again, "I wonder why Mister Yuan has come to the Northern Yan this time?"
This time, Yuan Tianfang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have come to deal with Chu Xiu. He killed my disciple. This matter can't be settled like this!"
Xiang Long frowned slightly.
Just as Yuan Tianfang didn't like Xiang Long who could control such a great power, Xiang Long also didn't like the boring grudges and vendettas in Jianghu.
Therefore, Xiang Long said directly, "Mister Yuan, if you have a grudge against Chu Xiu, then you can go directly to Chu Xiu. Why have you come to the Northern Yan palace?
Moreover, Mister Yuan, do you know that Chu Xiu is the governor of the Northern Yan Zhenwu Hall? Are you telling me this because you want me to help you kill Chu Xiu?
I can't kill my own subjects as I please. "
Yuan Tianfang snorted and said, "What is the Zhenwu Hall? It's just a child's play.
In short, I want Chu Xiu to have no place in the entire Northern Yan. Get rid of him and your Zhenwu Hall will be supported by I!
Whether you want to use this old man or that Chu Xiu bastard, you better think carefully before you speak! "
Hearing Yuan Tianfang's words, Xiang Long's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yuan Tianfang was an expert in the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm. Although the Northern Yan imperial court also had a few experts of this level, no one would complain about having too many of them.
Most importantly, Xiang Long gradually felt that he seemed to be unable to suppress Chu Xiu.
The Zhenwu Hall was an institution of the imperial court in name, but in fact, it was Chu Xiu's own people.
Including those martial arts forces, they did not surrender to the Northern Yan imperial court, but to the Zhenwu Hall.
The people of the pugilistic world were always people of the pugilistic world. It was too difficult to make them completely his subjects.
Moreover, what Chu Xiu did this time also made Xiang Long somewhat dissatisfied.
The little tricks that Chu Xiu played did indeed open up the Zhenwu Hall in the bitter and cold land of the extreme north, but this was not enough.
Xiang Long's real intention was to let the Yinmo Clan behind Chu Xiu fight with the Great Guangming Temple. As a result, Chu Xiu made such a move. He had an excuse, but the Great Guangming Temple did not really make a move. This was too far from Xiang Long's plan.
However, he could not directly tell Chu Xiu that he was using him to fight with the Great Guangming Temple. In that case, both sides would directly shed all pretense of cordiality.
Originally, Xiang Long placed Taoist Wuyang into the Zhenwu Hall to suppress Chu Xiu.
As a result, it seemed that this Taoist Wuyang was too useless. He was so frightened by Chu Xiu that he did not dare to show his face, let alone fight with Chu Xiu.
Now, the appearance of this Yuan Tianfang gave Xiang Long a very good choice.
After pondering for a while, he said, "If this is the case, I will appoint Mister Yuan as the Zhenwu Hall's Grand Elder, the same level as Chu Xiu. What do you think? However, the imperial court is fair. The position is given to you, but the imperial court will not favor you or Chu Xiu for other things. "
Yuan Tianfang curled his lips and said, "You people like to do these useless things. I do not need you to favor me."
After saying that, Yuan Tianfang turned and left directly. He did not even say goodbye.
Xiang Long looked at Yuan Tianfang's back without the slightest expression on his face.
At this time, an old eunuch walked out from the darkness and whispered, "Your Majesty, this Yuan Tianfang is not a good person. This person had a feud with Taoism in the early years. Countless Taoism masters died in his hands. If it was not for Dragon Tiger Mountain that finally scared him away, this person's reputation would probably be even worse."
Xiang Long said lightly, "Don't worry, I also know the depth. If this Yuan Tianfang was another Chu Xiu, I might not dare to use him.
However, this person is a standard demonic villain. He is powerful and cruel, but he acts crazily, does not use his brain, and does not know propriety.
There are only two endings for such a person. One is to be killed in the early stage, and the other is to become stronger in the killing and become a true demonic villain.
This Yuan Tianfang is the latter. I dare to use such a person. On the contrary, I do not want a second person like Chu Xiu to appear! "
